He’s expecting to bury days gone by. She’s prepared to settle the rating.

The Sterling Ranch’s season opening isn’t going so smoothly. With the ranch’s lodge filled with guests and a Montana blizzard threatening, Will Sterling requirements help-and he requirements it fast. So when his years as a child friend Poppy Carmichael agrees to lend a hand, he’s thankful for a second chance…and even more enticed by the woman she’s become than he cares to confess.

For Poppy, it was supposed to be a retreat full of horse rides and hoedowns-with a side of teaching Will what he’s been missing each one of these years. But as the snow deepens outside, the guests’ suspicion and mistrust turn sinister inside, catching Will and Poppy in the crosshairs.

Weathering the surprise in each other’s arms is usually all too possible for Can and Poppy, but will a confrontation with a killer indicate their reunion is usually short-lived?

New York Instances and USA TODAY bestselling author B.J. Daniels starts her Sterling’s Ranch series off having a bang with this suspenseful tale of romance and revenge.
